Time flies so fast and the 2nd Customer Loyalty and Rewards Conference and Expo is over. As the industry continues to grow we will be seeing a lot of players attending this event and listening to great speakers.

The
OFW remittances in the country continue to grow. Just recently, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
(BSP) reveals that remittances from January to August amount to $14.5 billion,
5.91% higher compared to the $13.733 billion for the same period last
year.

Security
Bank, one of the leading financial services and solutions providers, offers its
remittance and loan products for OFWs and their beneficiaries. These products respond to the needs of OFWs
as investment and savings options that will allow their money to grow.

This is the reason why Security Bank is
supporting the 10th MegaBalikbayan OFW Expo, an advocacy expo that
promotes entrepreneurship and business to OFWs and Balikbayans.

Security Bank will present various
remittance products to potential OFW entrepreneurs to explore business
opportunities from the traditional cash pick-up services to real-time credit to
bank fund transfers and the cutting edge cardless ATM withdrawal. For
individuals, the Bank will offer card products, and Home and Auto Loan services.
Security Bank believes that if OFWs will invest their money they can enjoy a
better and sustainable quality of life upon their retirement to work.

MegaBalikbayan OFW Expo is slated this
December 10 to 11, 2013, SMX Convention Center. The event continues to
grow in assisting OFWs and Balikbayans in finding business opportunities and
legal financial investments.

The highlights of the event are business
opportunities, free learning sessions and the 5th Outstanding OFW
and Balikbayan Reputation Award (OBRA).

This event is produced and organized by
Ex-link Management and Marketing Services Corp. For inquiries call 643-3887/

Still fresh from our memories the breakthrough event that promises to be bigger next year. The International Beauty, Health and Wellness Expo (IBHWEX), Sept. 26-28, SMX Convention Center is the event for the beauty, health and wellness expo in the Philippines in the years to come.

iPlus Intelligent Network, Inc., the
managed I.T. services firm of ePLDT led a host of thought leaders in the first
ever Data Conference at the Crowne Plaza in Ortigas Center.

A first leg of what is envisioned as an annual
gathering of the Philippine business sectors’ thought leaders, iPlus’ workforce
and management integration systems head, Mr. Junie Aguirre, familiarized a
diverse crowd of executives from various industries with the concept of big
data and the relevance of the burgeoning aptitude to curate, analyze, store,
share, and use large chunks of data to achieve business goals in the
information age.

As the integration of business with
information technology continues to flourish, Aguirre said that “data is
becoming a key basis of competition underpinning new waves of productivity,
growth such as hard assets and human capital, innovation and modern economic
activity.” In the various aspects of an organization’s operations, data
requires analytics for any value to be driven out of it. Telecom companies need
sufficient data to gauge mobile phone usage of their consumers and ultimately
map out strategies that could give their subscribers improved or better user
experience.

With technology and the dizzying changes
that force companies how they do business, knowing how to accurately capture,
store, analyze, and share definitely enables operational efficiency and
flexibility to face imminent challenges.
